Win tickets to see johns'<br />

boys at llandaff cathedral<br />

The Welsh choir who made a huge impression on the<br />

millions watching last year’s Britain’s Got Talent have<br />

announced that they are to perform here in Llandaff.<br />

Formed in 2016 by Aled Phillips, Johns’ Boys initially<br />

came together for a Noson Lawen to celebrate the life<br />

and work of two composers and conductors from the<br />

village of Rhosllannerchrugog, John Tudor Davies and<br />

John Glyn Williams.<br />

Following the success of that very special occasion,<br />

it became apparent to Aled and all of the singers<br />

that it would be foolish to pass up the opportunity to<br />

continue to make music together.<br />

Success came quickly for Aled and<br />

Johns’ Boys, as they reached the final of<br />

BBC Choir of the Year later in 2016. Their<br />

achievements didn’t end there however as in<br />

2019, they won the prestigious title of Choir<br />

of the World at the Llangollen International<br />

Eisteddfod.<br />

Many new fans however, will be more<br />

familiar with Johns’ Boys from their very<br />

recent exploits on Britain’s Got Talent.<br />

Performing Calum Scott’s ‘Biblical’, they<br />

entranced the judges with their virtuosic<br />

vocals, eliciting a standing ovation from both<br />

the judges and audience. Johns’ Boys got<br />

through to the live semi-finals.<br />

Today, the choir deliver new, fresh, and<br />

passionate performances of diverse<br />

repertoire: from stunning arrangements of Calum Scott<br />

and Lewis Capaldi to contemporary takes of well-loved<br />

Welsh hymns.<br />

The choir has announced a very special performance<br />

this autumn at Llandaff Cathedral, taking place on<br />

Saturday 26th October - and you can be there!<br />
